dangermousieApparently ep 1 of Hana Kimi is out on youtube. Whyyyyyyy am I not where I can get to youtube?
In other news, I was completely brain-dead last night so I didn't watch The Outsiders but instead let my mind go completely and watched ep 1 of Why Why Love, a wacky Taiwanese drama with Rainie Yang and Mike He that is as cracky and fluffy as The Outsiders is not. I dare anyone to meta it deeply :P
Well, I watched 20 or so minutes and then went to bed, but it's total love. Really. Rainie Yang's character is cute and spunky and adorable. Our male protagonist? Is a brat, and his father doesn't love him, and he is played by Mike He. So it's basically a trifecta of perfection right there. Kingone is his own awesome self, too. He will never get the heroine of course, as he has the Jiro syndrome (in rl, a serious be-suited businessman is much more my thing than a bad boy but whatever, this is what fiction is for) but hopefully will get a secondary OTP of his own.
Adorably wacky Rainie:
Credits, with out bickering OTP and other cool stuff:
The OTP meets up (she is fetching a baloon for a kid, and he is riding in, in her way):
Looking suitably bad-boyish? Naaaaah:
Following the Hanadan school of love. They start acquaintance with insults and mild bodily injury (she smacks him with ice-cream):
Mmmmm. Kingone as the Older Brother. HOT. (It's funny, but part of the reason I adored Smiling Pasta was because they made the older, responsible, well-adjusted one the hero, and not the bratty younger one):
Looking at Daddy (who earlier expressed a marked disdain for him). Can you say 'Daddy Issues?'
Doing a Logan Echolls and publically sticking his Dad for a huge charity donation if he (Mike) performs a risky bike stunt:
I get the sense he is just not very popular:
His Dad looks on in disapproval:
And his (hot) older brother is also not too pleased:
Wangst. Awww, you unloved acting out woobie. Rainie will fix ya. Or something:
LOL. 'Volunteering' Rainie to help him with his stunt:
She tells him she trusts him. Awwww, you can totally see where it will go, as Mike He's motorcycle riding bad boy was all touched. And she needs someone to make her family understand she shouldn't just cave into them, so yeah, match!
Rainie being adorable with Kingone:
I get the sense the 'other girl' is going to be Mrs. Kingone by the end?
LOL. Foreshadowing:
Stunt stuff:
Rainie, who fainted from stress, carried by Kingone:
Verdict? Incredibly cute brain candy.
This morning, I did watch more of The Outsiders which continues to be awesome.
Normally, I am all about people inventing their own fun. But Bao Ge's idea of fun seems to be a faxation on raping Ah Hao's women???? WTF. Of course, he doesn't know that Mainland girl is not a gf but someone he feels sorry for (I don't think Bao Ge can comprehend of someone just being randomly nice). (Well, I guess the mob is a very macho world).
But yeah, he kidnaps mainland girl and I love the scene when he calls Ah Hao and is all 'maybe this time I'll get all my men into it.' And he says if Ah Hao wants to girl unharmed, he has two days to: (a) break his own legs (wtf????) (b) resign from the gang and (c) hand over the gang to him.
And Ah Hao agrees. WTF! You crazy, awesome darling, doing this for a woman you don't love (I guess as an atonement for failing to protect the one you do love), come on, no way Bao Ge would keep his word.
And yeah, Mainland Girl escapes so the whole thing is aborted, but OMG. Yu Yen finds out, and I love how she confronts Ah Hao and she is thinking that it's OK if he tells her any excuse, she'll accept it, but that's the thing, he doesn't really lie. (And doesn't try to come up with excuses. Is it because he thinks he deserves misery because everything is his fault?)
And they have another one of their confrontations and he walks away and I love the scene where he and Ah Qi are together and Ah Qi is all 'I brought liquor' and Ah Hao says 'thanks, got my own drink' and you see he has a bottle of water. Heeee. Because he have up alcohol (no boozing or wenching, he is the worst mob boss ever :P) And he tells Ah Qi how the reason he agreed to everything Bao Ge asked for it because he almost made himself believe it was Yu Yen on the phone and not Mainland Girl, and it would be like hurting YY all over again. And OMG, he says he keeps dreaming of that night (when YY got raped) and that he gets there in time, and he says he can't look into her eyes because of everything she's sacrificed for him, and that it all happened because of him. And he says (foreshadowing?) that if he could get that innocent and happy Yu Yen back, he would gladly pay the price with his life, and if his death could wipe it all clean for her, then he's willing. And it's all awesome and all, but he should be saying this to Yu Yen. Parodoxically, his love and his guilt are so great, they shut down any communication with YY herself, because he just can't take the hurts she suffered (if it makes sense).
Some illustartive pics:
Talking to Xiao Die and letting her know she must go back, and also facing some unpalatable truths about himself:
LOL. Is Lao Shu a secret AH/YY shipper?
Bao Ge has some weird notions, to say the least:
Worried about Xiao Die's disappearance:
Talking to Bao Ge:
YY learns the very odd facts and truths:
OTP!
I love Hong Do!
And she is clearly a shipper too :) (I love girl-friendship):
I just like this shot
I like both the look on Danzi's face and Hong Do's loving references to her bf :P
Prettiness:
Waiting to find out the truth from Ah Hao:
You know, now that I know they get happiness in ep 19 (however temporary), I am totally relaxed about the angst. YES.

Maki is too adorable for words and I'm just pleased that I get to see Ikuta Toma in a drama, though I wonder what kind of spin he'll put on this insane Jiro character.
